Good morning and welcome to NaBloPoMo Day 3! I had a productive knitting (and work) day all rolled into one! I had a conference to go to yesterday and I took along my Christmas Socks to work on along the drive. I went with my sidekick from work and she did the driving. It was too dark on the way there to knit, but once we were settled into the conference I checked with someone running the conference if it was OK for me to knit - and she was fine with that. So I knit for the six hours we were there! I managed to add about two inches onto my Christmas socks (two at a time) so I was happy with that! Here is where I am now (the blue marker is where I was before I started for the day):
I had someone ask in the comments yesterday about how I work out how many stitches I do per day to add to my NaKniMo count. I actually keep track of how many rows I do and know how many stitches I have per row and then do the math to work it out at the end of the day. So for example yesterday - I kept track of how many rounds I did on my Christmas socks - 23 1/2. I know each sock has 64 stitches so I multiplied 23 rounds times 64 stitches per round times 2 socks + 64 for the half round to get to a total of 3008 stitches knit on my socks. I also added a few rows on my Texture Time Shawl and worked it out the same way - I have worked out how many stitches there are in each of the 12 short rows and how many stitches there are in the Latvian braid rows - so when I knit I keep track of which rows I did in a day and then work out how many stitches that was. So for my Texture Time Shawl yesterday I did from row 7 through 12 on the squiggle section which gave me 306 stitches. So my total for yesterday was 3314 stitches! So far I am ahead of schedule!
I smile each time I see your Christmas socks. I really really love the color running through them. Conferences are the best knitting places. I have done it several times and I actually retain more info than if I just sit and listen.
ReplyDeleteThanks for answering my question, Karen. That makes total sense. I'm impressed with how much knitting you're getting done!
